What is Fab Over 40?

What do you love about being over 40?

What I enjoy about this stage of life is that I am content to be my authentic self and I appreciate this in others as well. I feel passionate in life about what matters most. It also feels good to acknowledge & uplift others while focusing on life passions & meaningful contributions. Knowing who I am & having a vision/purpose are key. When I give back, I can trust the Universe to look after me, as well. Beauty comes from within & is about the heart & light, we walk with. Laugh a little & play.

How do you stay fabulous?

It is important to be gentle to ourselves and one another. It can be challenging to live up to others expectations, and I have learned to feel confident in knowing who I am & my gifts. This life and world have so much beauty and I am grateful for so much. I have learned to be as optimistic, though it has taken practice. I value my health and an active lifestyle & try to put take care of my body, protect my energy & strive for overall holistic health & wellness. I laugh & have fun!

What would you do with the $40,000?

I am so grateful for the opportunity to speak to others on how powerful it can be when every person sends out positivity and gives to others. Funds would be helpful to put away for life savings, utilize for family needs & to gift some to where my heart is called. Often there are things I have dreamed of for my family & have often focused on the basics, though, these funds could give me & my girls the opportunity to do something truly special for us.
